Both the nurses, who were on their way for night shift, were from Dombivili. Ranaja Tambe was a nurse in ward 6 and Apurva Prabhu was a nurse in the operation theatre. Prabhu is survived by her husband and two children, the nurses said.

Zahid Shiraj Khan (32), Bhakti Shinde (40) and Tapendra Singh (35) were the others who died in the collapse.

At least six persons were killed and 33 others injured after a portion of the concrete slab of a key foot over bridge (FOB) connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to a school on the busy Dadabhai Naoroji Road in south Mumbai collapsed on Thursday at around 7.35 pm.

“We heard a loud sound and rushed near the bridge. For the first two minutes, we could not see anything as there was dust everywhere. Few minutes later, we saw nearly 15 people severely injured after having fallen from the bridge,” he said.

Railways and BMC will jointly conduct an inquiry into the incident, state minister Vinod Tawde said after reaching the site.
